I hope this blesses you, too. I really needed it this morning. I miss my hubby so much I can't hardly bear it... Please pray that the job with the fellow from church will work out quickly or something else will come up. I've never hated a job he's had before -- but I hate this one! It's not that I'm not thankful that he has steady work and a good boss. For that, I am truly thankful. I just hate him being gone. The other day, all day long, my 9 year old sang a mournful little, "I miss Daddy," song.

A group of 4 to 8 year-olds were asked by professionals:
What does Love mean?
The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined.
Touching words from the mouth of babes.

And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry"
God, Please bless all my family and friends in whatever it is that You know they may be needing this day! May their lives be full of Your peace as they seek to have a closer relationship with you. Amen. And May your life be more GOODER!
